Hi Richard, last year we had no problem in Disney using travellers cheques as cash but more and more places off site are starting to refuse them. The golden corral will not accept them and wal-mart will only take American express travellers cheques just to name a few.This October I'm taking a pre paid credit card loaded with dollars, see this web site http://www.fairfx.com/ great exchange retes too and the card is good for three years, you can top up as many times as you like so you can use it as a savings account for your spending money ( no interest is paid ) Hope this of help.Daley.
